Pun Intended

Welcome to the final challenge of 2017! We decided to go with a fun theme of "Pun Intended" to take advantage of CTMH's December Stamp of the Month as well as this year's Operation Smile fundraiser stamp set. However, these aren't the only ways you can make a punny project.

The design team has come up with some PUN inspiration for you.

We hope you'll play along with us. This challenge (and our other 2 for December) will run until December 31 so you have plenty of time. Be sure to visit the design team's individual blogs as many of them will have additional instructions and maybe even a bonus project to see.

Christmas Critters

Christmas is almost upon us, can you believe it? In the spirit of the holidays, and to be sure you take some time for yourself, we invite you to participate in this week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge. Our theme is "Christmas Critters". You can interpret it anyway you like, just be sure to incorporate Close To My Heart products when you do so. In fact, you can actually participate in two challenges with the same piece of artwork as we are partnering with the Color My Heart Color Dare Blog this week. 

If you need some creative inspiration, we hope you can find it with these artwork ideas from several of our Design Team Members.

Silver & Gold

"Silver and gold, silver and gold

Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold

How do you measure its worth?

Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth”

(From: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer")

Silver and gold have been valued and admired since the beginning of time. Today is no different. In fact, you no doubt have noticed how trendy mixed metals are right now…clothes, jewelry, home décor, paper crafts and more. They’re everywhere and not just because it’s the holiday season. It’s perfectly acceptable to mix any metallics…gold, silver, copper, rose gold, etc.

Because it’s trendy and because the Holidays are around the corner, we are hosting a Silver and Gold Challenge this month. We’re also super excited to be partnering with Color My Heart – Color Dare Challenges, as they are holding two color challenges this month…a traditional green and red and a non-traditional challenge. Both challenges have an optional Silver and Gold component. It’s the perfect match-up. However, keep in mind that you can do more with Silver and Gold than just holiday-themed creations. Anniversaries and weddings come to mind, too. So don't let yourself feel limited!  Check out our design team's creations for a little inspiration.

You can check out our participation requirements over in the right column, but the main thing to remember is to use some Close To My Heart products in your creation, to mention H2H, plus include a link back to us, when you share your creation on your blog, online gallery, etc.  Also, once you link up here, be sure to go join the Color Heart challenge also!

We look forward to seeing our creations!
